I would like to add some more information to the bug(I'm not a Java expert, so I may make some innocent assumptions).
This bug only occurs when running eclipse with gij (currently gij-4.1). When running with Sun's JVM, this problem does not happen. /tmp is filled with files *.jar.so*.so. Their names are just like the names of JAR files in /usr/share/eclipse/features and /usr/share/eclipse/plugins (and maybe others). If I understand correctly, they represent the bytecode in the JAR's compiled into native code. But, for instance, it looks like that from the same JAR file, several .so's are being generated. For example, in my machine I get: 13M org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7my.so 13M org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7n4.so 13M org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7nf.so 13M org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7o0.so 13M org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7o6.so 13M org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7oe.so 13M org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7oq.so 13M org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7p5.so 13M org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7ps.so 13M org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7py.so 13M org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7qk.so 13M org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7qp.so 13M org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7qu.so 13M org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7qy.so 13M org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7r6.so 13M org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7rt.so 13M org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7s9.so 13M org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7sp.so And if I look closer, all those files are identical: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ md5sum *jdt.core* 51f23e3bcd80c9cb33f395136501fd66 org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7my.so 51f23e3bcd80c9cb33f395136501fd66 org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7n4.so 51f23e3bcd80c9cb33f395136501fd66 org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7nf.so 51f23e3bcd80c9cb33f395136501fd66 org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7o0.so 51f23e3bcd80c9cb33f395136501fd66 org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7o6.so 51f23e3bcd80c9cb33f395136501fd66 org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7oe.so 51f23e3bcd80c9cb33f395136501fd66 org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7oq.so 51f23e3bcd80c9cb33f395136501fd66 org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7p5.so 51f23e3bcd80c9cb33f395136501fd66 org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7ps.so 51f23e3bcd80c9cb33f395136501fd66 org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7py.so 51f23e3bcd80c9cb33f395136501fd66 org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7qk.so 51f23e3bcd80c9cb33f395136501fd66 org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7qp.so 51f23e3bcd80c9cb33f395136501fd66 org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7qu.so 51f23e3bcd80c9cb33f395136501fd66 org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7qy.so 51f23e3bcd80c9cb33f395136501fd66 org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7r6.so 51f23e3bcd80c9cb33f395136501fd66 org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7rt.so 51f23e3bcd80c9cb33f395136501fd66 org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7s9.so 51f23e3bcd80c9cb33f395136501fd66 org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.2.jar.sowtu7sp.so This issue currenly makes Eclipse unusable with GIJ: besides taking too much time to start, eclipse gets very slow and event simple operations make eclipse'e window unresponsive. -- Antonio S. de A.
